America, a melting pot filled with diverse cultures, beautiful natural wonders, and a historic sense of exploration. Among the vast beauty of our wilderness, there also lies a more sinister side.  Throughout the ages, a haunting collection of nightmares and tales of the unexplainable have been passed down generation to generation.  Stories of bloodthirsty creatures lurking in the dark, strange lights in the night sky, and vengeful ghouls forever cursed to wander haunted forests. These are the stories that give us pause while hiking in remote areas of the country, and fill our heads with dread before falling asleep in our tents at night.   On this weeks episode, we discuss ghostly sounds from Wood Island, the many horrors of Turnbull Canyon, and the strange sightings of "The Hairy Many of The Vergas Trails."  Listen to part 1 of our American Urban Legend series here: https://locationsunknown.podbean.com/e/ep-18-american-urban-legend-series-part-1/   The sponsor of this weeks episode is - Payoff.com.  Payoff.com helps people get out from high interest debt by consolidating into a low APR personal loan.  A Payoff Loan is a personal loan, backed by member-centric credit unions, designed to help you pay off your credit cards.
